Lee F. DeWald's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have known Lee DeWald for more than 15 years. I first worked closely with Lee when we were both officers of the Northwest Suburban Bar Association. Lee was always a gentleman, but no BS -- he got things done. Since then I have referred clients to Lee over the years, and they have always had great things to say about Lee. Attorney DeWald is smart, tenacious, and conscientious. I highly recommend Lee and his law firm. Ron Wittmeyer"
"Lee is simply an outstanding attorney. I have had the pleasure of working on many many cases with him and he had shown me and the clients that he will leave no stone unturned in the representation of his clients in their legal matters. His trial skills are second to none. Lee is a savvy litigator that knows how to effectively assist clients through matters that a lesser attorney would falter in. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is simply one of the best attorneys in his area of practice."
"I strongly endorse this lawyer's work because I have seen it first hand. He is a talented trial lawyer. He shows a clear understanding of the law and the ability to articulate."
